Chapter 1211: Dao Aspiration
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Xia Ruoyin's face went still. If Mo Wuji wasn't already a Sage, she would have pleaded for mercy on account of their past love. However, facing a Sage, she could not utter such a lie. This was because able to see through it with a single glance.
However, how did he know that it was Wen Xiaoqi? To her understanding, it wasn't Wen Xiaoqi.
Space instantly turned rigid and a suffocating sensation of death came over. Xia Ruoyin wanted to struggle and beg for mercy again. However, at this moment, she couldn't even say a word. At the bottom of her mind, there was only one thought. If she hadn't killed Mo Wuji then, how would things have been?
Unfortunately, the pressure came down on her. She would no longer be able to think any further.
A dao ripple of erosion wrapped around her. In this instant, her life force had disappeared. Following which, a flame swept over, burning her entire body into nothingness.
Even her ring had been destroyed by this powerful dao ripple. Clearly, Mo Wuji didn't want any of her belongings to remain.
…
Mo Wuji's spiritual will went back into space. He actually noticed Tian Hen again. Back when he snatched that Dao Law of the Universe away, he was struck by Tian Hen's Samadhi True Fire. Till now, he still hadn't gotten back at Tian Hen for that.
Mo Wuji directly traversed across galaxies. At almost the same instant he landed in the same galaxy as Tian Hen, Tian Hen's spiritual will also detected Mo Wuji.
The way Mo Wuji looked at it, this fella would definitely try to flee. However, he didn't expect that this fella would actually come flying to him.
From the looks of it, the Furnace of Heaven and Earth really turned him crazy. If it was him and he saw a person escape alive after facing five Sages, he definitely wouldn't have dared to come over.
”You want to snatch this Furnace of Heaven and Earth?” Mo Wuji looked at Tian Hen who had already arrived in front of him and brought out the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
What shocked Mo Wuji was that Tian Hen did not hesitate to throw out a strand of his soul as he kneeled on the ground and said, ”I know that Senior must have already stepped into the Sage Stage. I only wish to follow Senior. Senior, please accept Tian Hen. As for the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, this junior no longer dares to want it.”
Mo Wuji was at a loss for words as he stared at Tian Hen. This didn't seem right.
At any rate, Tian Hen used to be a Sage. How did he become so weak? It would be normal if Tian Hen didn't surrender in their fight for the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, even if Mo Wuji was about to kill him. But now, Tian Hen had directly kneeled on the ground and he willing severed a strand of his soul for Mo Wuji to control him. This was clearly very strange.
Immediately, Mo Wuji knew what was wrong. Tian Hen's pride and desire for the Dao seemed to have disappeared. This was like… Yes, this was like when he first landed on that mortal planet and he felt as though he could never leave it.
”You lost your aspiration for the Dao?” Mo Wuji stared at the kneeling Tian Hen questioningly. He did not accept that strand of Tian Hen's soul.
To him, a person that lost his aspiration for the Dao wouldn't be of much use in the upcoming World-Ending Cataclysm.
Tian Hen sighed. He could tell that the expert in front of him had no interest in him.
Indeed, he had lost his aspiration for the Dao. Even when his spirit suffered consecutive blows due to Lei Hongji and Xia Ruoyin, it still remained strong and he was determined that he could return back into the Sage Dao.
But after he saw Mo Wuji's battle with the five Sages, his dao spirit had completely crumbled.
Mo Wuji forcefully endured his deadly Samadhi True Fire and got out safely. Not only that, Mo Wuji even snatched a Dao Law of the Universe from five Sages.
That still wasn't what shocked him the most. The most shocking thing was that when Mo Wuji was surrounded by the four Sages and Luo, he injured three Sages, heavily injured Luo and managed to escape calmly.
Back then, he believed that Mo Wuji was completely screwed. As a person observing from the sides, he could clearly tell that Mo Wuji's dao foundations were destroyed.
He didn't think that after a short 1000 years, this young man didn't merely recover, he even stepped into the Sage Stage.
Those years ago, this fella could deal with the onslaught of five Sages while only at the Quasi-Sage Stage. Now that he had stepped into the Sage Stage, the encirclement of five Sages shouldn't be a problem for this Mo Wuji, right?
As for him, he didn't lose his dao aspiration because he saw Mo Wuji escape after suffering the combined attacks of five Sage experts. Instead, it was because after Mo Wuji and Luo fled, his hated enemies, Luo Xu and co., treated him as though he didn't exist as they went on to chase after Tai Luan.
